At this time, in the Forbidden Forest, Dumbledore was standing quietly on a ruin, his face could not see any expression, calm and terrifying.

"Dumbledore......" Snape walked over and said, "the students have all returned to the castle, and no one is hurt. ”

"Thank you, Severus." Dumbledore said.

"What the hell is going on here!"

"Clearly, someone wants to use the blood of a unicorn to keep them alive......"

Dumbledore bent down, looked at the dying unicorn at his feet, and said, "If Hagrid hadn't spotted the other party in time, it would probably have died." ”

"yes, it's just that the stupid big guy almost died now." Snape sneered with disdain, "Is it worth it...... Just for this one, livestock? ”

"Everybody has their own persistence, Severus, and it's hard to measure that persistence in terms of whether it's worth it or not." Dumbledore said, "It's like you were ...... for Lil."

"Dumbledore!" Snape yelled angrily, "Don't mention that name again!" ”

He gasped for breath and continued after a long time, "So, do you know who the man who did it to Hagrid is? ”

"I think, yes."

Dumbledore took two steps forward, came to a place covered in black ash, bent down and touched the ground.

"Fierce fire...... It's really troublesome black magic, and if you leave it alone, I'm afraid the entire Forbidden Forest will be gone. ”

Then he got up again and came to the other side.

On the ground, the two centaurs were lying motionless, surrounded by a messy footprint.

"Requires......" Dumbledore whispered, "the quiver is half empty, they weren't supposed to have been killed by the Require as soon as they met."

It seems that he is weak, and the blood of the unicorn can only delay his life, but it will not restore his strength. ”

With every word Dumbledore spoke, Snape's face turned ugly.

"What you said before...... He doesn't dare to kill now! ”

"Don't dare and can't be two different things." Dumbledore said calmly, "No matter how many centaurs die, it won't affect Hogwarts, and neither will Hagrid.

Because he knew that parents and school directors would not care about them, as long as the students did not die, Hogwarts would not be closed, and he would have a chance to get the Philosopher's Stone. ”

"It's just your guess." Snape said coldly.

"You're right." Dumbledore nodded, "None of us really know what he really thinks, which is why I asked for a suspension of Quidditch matches. ”

After a short silence.

With a fluke mentality, Snape suddenly asked, "Is it possible that Oron is back, and he will also use the Fire Charm and the Death Curse." ”

"As far as I know, he's hiding from the Aurors in the north right now, and he won't be able to return anytime soon.

And if it were him, Hagrid probably wouldn't have made it out of the Forbidden Forest alive. ”

The scene fell silent again, until a dull sound of horses' hooves could be heard in the distance.

"Can you help me watch him? You know whose ......," Dumbledore whispered.

Snape did not respond and left without saying a word.

The sound of horses' hooves was getting closer, and soon, a group of strong horsemen armed with bows and arrows appeared around.

"Don't move!"

“…… Mr. Dumbledore? The leader of the centaurs quickly asked the others to lay down their weapons after seeing the people in front of him clearly.

He stepped forward and asked, "How did you end up here, and around you, what the hell is going on......

"As you can see, Margery." Dumbledore said, "An attempt was made to kill a unicorn, and Hagrid and both centaurs were affected. ”

Only then did Margery notice that two centaurs had died nearby.

There was a sudden sound of stomping on the front hooves.

Margery stepped forward and said with a little choked up, "Drugie...... Lula...... They are all valiant warriors! ”

"Ronan, Ferenze, send them back to the tribe, I think they should prefer to stay where the irises bloom."

The two centaurs stepped out......

When Margaret looked at Dumbledore again, he was calm.

"Dumbledore, Mars has been very bright lately, very bright...... You have to be prepared, this is just the beginning, and it is far from the end. ”

Dumbledore bent slightly, "Thank you for the reminder, Margery. ”

"I just don't want to see more centaurs die miserably."

"Good luck, Mr. Dumbledore, and ...... Mr. Scamander. ”

With that, he left with the other centaurs.

Dumbledore didn't move, he tilted his head slightly, looking in the direction of the unicorn.

An old figure appeared there at some point, his head bowed, his movements gently caressing the unicorn's scarred body.

In addition, on his shoulder stood a phoenix.

"How?" Dumbledore asked.

"It's not good, she lost a lot of blood, and there are many traces of dark magic on her body, which makes her very weak." Newt raised his head and said, "But fortunately, it was discovered in time, and there is no danger to life." ”

"That's great." Dumbledore said, "It helped Hagrid block two deadly spells, and if it died, I don't know what to say to Hagrid." ”

"No, it won't." Newt whispered, and he took out a vial of potion and fed it to the unicorn, then took out another vial and smeared it on its wound.

The frightened unicorn calmed down and fell asleep under Newt's comfort.

That's when Newt took out a box and carefully put it in.

After leaving the Forbidden Forest, the two went to the principal's office again.

"I'm sorry to call you all the way here."

Dumbledore poured Newt a cup of black tea and said half-jokingly, "But I'm really not worried about letting Professor Kettleburn take care of the unicorns, otherwise Hogwarts will probably have to hire two professors next year." ”

Newt also remembered that Professor Kettleburn was stabbed in the stomach by a unicorn last year, and smiled and did not speak.

The professor was a bit reckless at times.

"Oh yes, there's one more thing."

Dumbledore looked at Newt's chest and asked thoughtfully, "Did you give Kyle one of these too?" ”

"Poof......

Newt squirted out a sip of black tea.

Either Dumbledore is the strongest white wizard, the reaction is fast, and one sideways dodge, not even a drop of water on his long beard.

But Fox behind him wasn't so lucky.

The black tea was not wasted at all, and it was all sprayed on its body.

"Don't get excited, I'm just asking."

Dumbledore blinked, "I've had this idea since Halloween, but neither I nor the professors have seen him take any boxes. ”

"Hmm...... Possible...... He didn't bring ......," Newt muttered indistinctly.

Fortunately, at this time, someone, or a bird, helped him out of the siege.

After a brief moment of confusion, Fawkes, who had come to his senses, dried his feathers and began to peck at Dumbledore's beard in anger.

"Hey, Fawkes, the tea was sprayed by Newt...... Dumbledore explained, apparently not wanting to carry the pot.

But Fawkes turned a deaf ear, it didn't see Newt, only that Dumbledore didn't help it block the water.

And Fawkes really didn't get used to him at all, and he could peck off a pinch of silver-white beard every time he took his mouth.

Dumbledore clutched his beard in a hurry, his voice changing in distress.

Taking advantage of this, Newt picked up his suitcase and quietly left the principal's office.
